RICHIE SAMBORA FEELS GREAT AFTER DETOX

Ex. love Denise Richards with Richie Sambora

Richie Sambora feels "great" after his "detox".The Bon Jovi guitarist - who completed a week-long program at the Los Angeles UCLA Medical Center last Wednesday, revealed he sought help because he was "drinking too much". However, he insisted he entered the facility for a "detox" and "did not check into rehab". He told the 'Today' show: "Instead of me heading into a place - I was just drinking too much and I needed to get my life together. I'm still in therapy and stuff like that, but it's good. I'm great. I feel fine."Front man Jon Bon Jovi insisted the band fully support Richie and vowed to help him through his troubles.He said: "We've been through everything together and there was no way that we were not going to be supporting Richie right now - and that's what we're doing. He's been through the fire, and we've been there for him."It has been a tough couple of months for Sambora. He split from actress Denise Richards in March after dating her for almost a year.In April, the 47-year-old rocker's divorce from Heather Locklear was finalised and his father tragically died of lung cancer on April 21. Sambora admitted: "It's been a rough year."
